Wondering .....when try to build it like mentioned in this place :

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ffmpeg-unknown-encoder-%27libx264%27-4175677695/#post6140669

Am I the only one , who failed to understand ,why the heck is not detecting ??

Greatly appreciated if you come close or pinpoint the reason.

Thanks.


Solution

  • Three steps:

    1. Get the damn x264 from slackbuild and install it .

    2. Get the latest ffmpeg (as mentioned in other thread, the url in the question) and build like that ..i.e

    x264=yes ./ffmpeg.SlackBuild
    
    1. Install the generated package like this :
    root@Slackware_12:10:44_Mon Nov 22:~#installpkg /tmp/ffmpeg-4.4.1-x86_64-2.txz
    

    Voila! ...the damn thing started to work .
